OMG it has been more than a month since I had posted my last blog. The truth is that after my school holiday ended I was really caught up in other commitments and barely had any time to write my stories. Also, I grew quite sick on continuing them and felt like quitting MMOtales at one point altogether.

Well what motivated me to continuing writing was probably angelwitwing’s release of her story. Although it did not seem as good as the previous parts it was nevertheless enough to encourage me to at least finish my MMOtales story.

I am terribly sorry if I have disappointed any of my fans (do I even have any? 0_0) and sincerely hope that you will forgive me for dragging so long and making you wait.

My subsequent parts will probably come around once a week. (Sorry!)

Meanwhile here’s the next part of my story, enjoy!

Btw Ultima66 I pray hard that you will find some time to finish your story as well. It rocks!

WINNERS & LOSERS PT 4

The ship was quietly sailing on its journey to Ossyaria. I sat at the ship deck, my mouth sealed up and my face emotionless. From a far end of the ship I caught sight of April and Arthur chatting away happily, delight and joy printed on their facial expressions.

“Hey Jake! Wanna come join us?” April ran over and gave me a sweet smile.

“No.”

“Huh pardon me? Why are you so moody?”

“I’m not moody! And I already said! NO!”

“Come on it’s not fun with only two people! Let’s play three people omok!”

“I SAID NO AND I DO NOT WANNA FRICKIN HANG OUT WITH B******S LIKE ARTHUR! HE IS SUCH A LOSER!”

I practically screamed at April. April bit her lip and stormed off, her sweet smile swapped with a bitter frown. I stared at my feet disappointedly and scolded myself at my abrupt childish behaviour.

I then lay down on the wooden floor and closed my eyes. The soothing sound of gentle winds brushed past my ear calmly. Finally, some peace at last…

I then opened my eyelids a little to reveal a small gap. From that view I observed the clouds floating in the vast blue sky. I noticed how small birds flapped their wings frantically. I wondered what they were fleeing from.

I also saw a ship in a distance. Its sails waved majestically in the breeze as it headed in my direction. My eyes then closed once more. I realised that sometimes it was best for one to just chunk all problems away for awhile and relax. It was such a sensational…

BAAAAM! I was jerked back into reality. I stood up and rubbed my head in pain. What was happening? The truth quickly dawned on me. The ship that had approached me- it belonged to the crimson balrogs! They had directed their ship right into the hull of ours and were now terrorising everyone on board.

Then one of the balrogs noticed me!

It immediately rushed at me with a menacing roar and attempted to kill me. I had to rely solely on my nimble reflexes this time.

“Die you scumbag!”

I sped past the crimson balrog, leaving six stabs in its chest. Black liquid oozed from the disgusting wound. I then jumped into the air and struck the crimson balrog’s head with assaulter this time.

The balrog shook its mane and glared at me. My attacks were not doing sufficient damage! I had barely enough time to ponder as I dodged a black bolt shot from the balrog. This was going to be a tough fight.

Once more I sped at the balrog, but this time in a zigzag pattern. The balrog looked around confused and slashed at me, but was slow by 5 seconds. This was my golden chance!

Gathering all the energy I had, I whacked the balrog hard with my disorder attack. The balrog managed to grab me when I was still recovering from the attack, but my disorder’s effects had begun to kick in. In a matter of time, the balrog had lost its ability to fight.

It quickly collapsed onto the ground and growled in agony. I stared at the near-lifeless creature as it experienced a living hell of pain. I showed no pity…I showed no mercy…

Like a tyrant I walked towards the poor beast, its defenceless body trying to fend off its last attack. My time had come. I would rescue April from the balrogs and she would finally notice me, unlike the stinking archer. JUSTICE WOULD BE SERVED!

Then a WHAM filled the air and I fell like a stone.

……Three hours later……

I grew conscious again. There was still a throbbing pain all over my body. Weakly, I heard some people murmuring away and gossiping. Were the balrogs gone? They should have been.

“Hey man that guy’s waking up.”

“Heck nobody cares!”

“Did you see how the other balrog slugged him? I should’ve filmed it! He was like, gonna kill the first one and then, WHAMMO! The second balrog puts him to sleep!”

“Haha he’s a loser.”

“What an ass.”

I needed to think clearly. What was happening? Then my brain came back into function and I realised those comments were meant for me. I was only trying to be patriotic!

I sat up and groaned loudly. Then something hit me again and I fell back down to the ground.

“Mommy! I killed him!”

I wanted to laugh but I had no strength to. I then opened my eyes and looked around. A little boy had kicked me for fun when I was about to awaken? I prayed not.

“Heh did you see how the little boy pawned him?”

“MOMMY!!! I killed him!”

Great! Now I was officially a laughing stock. I stood up weakly and staggered back to my room.

“Hey Jake that you?”

It was Dave! Maybe he was the one who took the title of killing both balrogs. Yes, even the second one. I saw many people around him and congratulating him. Girls were fighting to be as close to him as possible. One girl was even proceeding to take off her bra. That alone was enough to confirm my queries.

I hit myself and went back inside the cabin. I met April there. Surprisingly, she was weeping away instead of laughing at me.

“Arthur..died.”

April sniffed away more choked tears and continued.

“A crimson balrog threw him off the ship.”

I hid all my emotions.

“Yeah right, and you think I give a f**k bout your boyfriend.” I replied coldly.

“He..was..not..my..boyfriend. He..WAS MY BROTHER! MY BOYFRIEND DUMPED ME YESTERDAY!”

April broke out into tears again as she left me speechless. So that was why she was so upset the day before…

“Look, I know that you hate my brother because he is so flirtatious, but that is no reason for you to treat him like that! Do you realise how down he was when he heard your comments of him?”

I froze in remorse. Why did I even call him a b******d? I was the real b******d. I was the real loser. My life was in such a mess!

Now I knew why I have no chance with April. She does not deserve a loser like me who will not bring her any future! That’s it. I will not be there to bring April down anymore. I will not be there to bring ANYONE down anymore. Tomorrow will be the last day I live. I am going to commit suicide. Goodbye world,

That was the first thing my mind told me, and I used my clear conscience to agree.
